Used Boat Prices

How to value a used boat:

Find similar boats in the iboats classifieds and check their prices. This is important in finding out what price you should buy or sell at.

Next, check the price guide to see if the prices match up.

If the value of the boat is over $50,000 then you may want to enlist the help of a broker if you are selling.

If you are buying a boat of considerable value you may want to hire a marine surveyor.
